O 'her objects and advent;

es of the invention more fully appear irom the following deb ption takenin connection with the =oinpanying drawings, in which:

l is a side View of the upper forbody showing one itat'on of my improvedbracket, parts belieierring now to the drawings, the reference numeral10 designates a portion of the vehicle body having a top 12, pillar i land door 16 hinged to the pillar, as at 18. At the upper portion of thepillar and across the front of the body I have provided a sun vis *r 20.

Secured on the forward side of the pillar 1% l have provided bracket 22having a fiat face portion 2% and an opening to receive a screw 28. Theflat fat per i bracket is formed in the body portion thereof and restsagainst the forward face of the pil- 4 lar 14. An arm 30 extendingdownwardly and outwardly from the body portion is provided with aspherical face portion 32 adapted to receive a part to be supported,such as lamp 3%. The arm 30 and a portion of the body portion isprovided with a central opening 31 extending from the flat face portion2a: to the spherical face portion 32 to receive electrical connections33 connected to the lamp 34 and supply electrical energy to a bulb Anupwardly extending arm 36 is provided Referring to Fig. 2, it will benoted that the arm 36 is curved inwardly from the pillar to be receivedontbe inner face of the visor and that the arm 30 is curved outwardly toposition the lamp beyond the plane of the pillar let.

It will be understood that a simple, inexpensive bracket has beenprovided, which not only supports the lamp but supports the visor, bothof which are supported from a 'ingle point. The bracket and lamp 3% maybe assembled on the visor 20 and the entire assembly secured to theforward face of the vehicle body as a unit.

It will be understood that various changes, including the size, shapeand arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spiritof my invention and it" is not my intention to limit its scope otherthan by the terms of the appended claims.

l/Vhat I claim is:

1. A device of the class described comprising in combination, a vehiclebody, a visor on said body, a bracket between said body and said visor,and a lamp on said bracket.

3. A device of the class described comprising in combination, a vehiclebody having a front pillar, a visor at the upper forward face of saidbody pillar, a bracket on the forward face of said pillar and below saidvisor, an upwardly and forwardly extending arm on said bracket havingits outer end secured to said visor, a downwardly and forwardlyextending arm on said bracket, and alamp on said last named arm.

i. A bracket of the class described comprising a body portion, anupwardly, in- \vardly, and forwardly extending arm on said body portion,a downwardly and forwardly extending arm on said body portion, and acurved plate on the outer end of said last named arm.

5. A bracket of the class described comprising a body portion, anupwardly and forwardly extending arm on said body portion, a downwardlyand forwardly extending arm on said body portion, and a curved plate onthe outer end of said last named arm, said upwardly extending armprojecting beyond the curved plate portion on said downwardly extendingarm.

6. A bracket of the class described co1n prising a body portion having asecuring face surface, an upwardly and forwardly extending arm on saidbody portion opposite the securing face surface, a downwardly andforwardly extending arm on said body portion opposite the securing facesurface, and a face portion on said downwardly extending arm. said bodyportion and said downwardly extending arm having an opening extendingfrom the securing face surface through the downwardly extending arm andthe face portion of said arm.

7. A device of the class described comprising in combination, a vehiclebody having a front pillar, a visor at the upper forward face of saidbody pillar, a bracket on the forward face of said pillar and below saidvisor, an upwardly and forwardly extending arm on said bracket havingits outer end secured to said visor, a downwardly and forwardlyextending arm on said bracket having an opening therein through out itslength, a curved plate conforming to the curved surface of a lamp on theouter end of said downwardly extending arm, and a lamp on said. curvedplate.
